Reality-based commentary on politics.

Ya have to laugh so you don’t cry!

I’m proud to say I live in the only town in the Commonwealth that voted for Alan Khazei.

Given what a great candidate he was, and how hard I and many others worked on his campaign, I’m sad that it was the only town.

Alan is a terrific public servant, and I’m sure we haven’t heard the last of him in Bay State politics.

On to 2010!

  1. I hope you enjoy the poem I posted a few moments ago.  And, frankly, while my candidate won, I hope your candidate is indeed willing to engage in governance because I do think he has a lot to offer and I also am willing to bet that both he and you will do two things, at a minimum:

    <

    p>1.  Work to strengthen and sustain the ground organization that Alan Khazei built in his first run for state office in a mere eight weeks.  The effort and the organization were both impressive and deserve further efforts and maturation as an organization.

    <

    p>2.  Continue to be involved in the “governance dialogue” – perhaps through use of the blogosphere, such as here at BlueMassGroup, perhaps through appointment to a significant Board or position [I think that Alan Khazei would make a superb DOE head – not sure if the head of DOE these days is a “secretary” or a “commissioner”.  The idea of Alan Khazei taking over the Department of Children and Families is also revolutionary.]  

  2. I think Alan Khazei should consider running for a statewide office in 2010.  I’m not sure which office would be best suited for him.  But, he now has higher name recognition and a base of supporters and donors.

    p>AG? Secretary of State? Treasurer? Auditor?
